Definitions
- the present invention relates to a knit fabric made with non-elastic yarn and a minor weight fraction of elastic combination yarns. More particularly, the invention concerns such a knit fabric in which the combination yarn has an elastic elongation of 10% to 70% and provides improved fabrication, shape-retention and appearance to fabric knit therewith.
- Knit fabrics which contain non-elastic textile yarns and a minor fraction of elastic combination yarns are known. Such fabrics are used for sweaters, socks and the like.
- Strauss et al U.S. Patent 5,050,406 discloses a knit fabric that comprises 30% core-spun combination yarn,in which the yarn is 90% cotton and 10% spandex.
- Muller et al U.S. Patent 3,392,552, describes a knit fabric, in which at least 20% of the ends are of elastic yarn plied with inelastic yarn.
- Various types of elastic combination yarns are known, such as covered, core-spun, plied, core-effect, plaited, air-jet-entangled and like yarns.
- elastic filaments are combined with non-elastic textile yarns by known techniques.
- the elastomeric components are stretched during combination with inelastic yarn.
- Strachan U.S. Patent 3,940,917, discloses a spandex yarn being stretched at least 100%, usually 250 to 500%, during air-jet entanglement with inelastic filaments
- Miyasaka, Japanese Patent Application 38-50045 discloses an elastic yarn being stretched 50% during a similar entanglement procedure.
- An object of this invention is to provide an improved knit fabric in which the problems of working loss and shape distortion are significantly decreased.
- the present invention provides an improved knit fabric, particularly suited for the manufacture of sweaters, socks, skirts, dresses and the like.
- the knit fabric is of a known type that comprises inelastic yarn and elastic combination yarn.
- the invention provides a weft knit or circular knit fabric, comprising inelastic yarn and elastic combination yarn, wherein the elastic combination yarn comprises in the range of 97.5 to 65 weight percent inelastic fiber and 2.5 to 35 weight percent elastic fiber characterized in that the elastic combination yarn has an elastic stretch in the range of 10 to 70%.
- the elastic combination yarn preferably amounts to in the range of 2.5 to 5% of the total weight of the fabric and the total spandex content of the fabric is preferably in the range of 0.2 to 0.6%.
- the elastic combination yarn content is preferably in the range of 10 to 40% and the total spandex content of the fabric is preferably in the range of 1 to 3.5%.
- the fabrics can be made on weft-knitting or circular-knitting machines.
- the invention further provides a process for knitting a fabric comprising
- a “combination yarn” is a yarn that has at least two dissimilar yarn components, one of which is elastic and another of which is of conventional, natural or synthetic, textile fiber, such as cotton, wool, nylon, polyester or the like.
- “Spandex” is a manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long chain synthetic polymer comprised of at least 85% by weight of a segmented polyurethane.
- the term “fiber” includes in its meaning staple fibers and continuous filaments.
- the term “elastic” refers to the property of fiber or yarn to stretch under tension and retract quickly and forcibly to substantially its original length when the tension is removed.
- the term “stitch distortion” describes undesired yarn jamming in knit stitches, which occurs when a knit elastic combination yarn retracts with too much force.
- leg refers to the portion of a sock that is located between the heel and cuff (or the top opening if the sock has no cuff) and “foot” refers to the portion between the toe and the heel.
- Working loss is the area contraction that occurs when a knit fabric is removed from the knitting machine on which it was made (i.e., the area of the fabric in an untensioned state immediately after removal from the knitting machine divided by the area of the as-knit fabric on the knitting machine). Large working losses often occur when fabrics are knit with high-elongation yarns under high tension. Such operation causes the fabric to shrink when it is released from the restraining force of the knitting machine. Working loss is economically disadvantageous and results in heavier-than-desired fabrics, use of excessive amounts of yarn, and the need for several trial-and-error runs to correct the undesired condition.
- a convenient measure of working loss in knit sock fabrics is the contraction in length of the sock when it is removed from the knitting machine.
- shape distortion refers to the dimensional changes that occur in knit fabrics as a result of washing, drying and hanging.
- the resistance of a knit fabric to shape distortion is measured as follows. A knit sweater blank test fabric is suspended for 24 hours from its top edge with no added weight and then washed. The fabric is washed in an 68-liter (18-gallon) automatic washer with 28 grams of "Tide” powdered detergent. The washing includes 10 minutes of agitation with water at a temperature of 37.8°C (100°F) in a wash cycle and two rinse cycles with cold water with one minute of agitation in each rinse cycle.
- the sweater sample was then tumble-dried at a standard "cotton" setting (60°C to 71.1°C (140°F to 160°F)) for 60 minutes.
- the change in area reported as a percent loss in original area of the sweater blank, is a measure of the ability of the fabric to retain its shape and avoid distortion.
- Stitch distortion in knit sweater blanks is rated visually on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being best, 3 satisfactory and 1 unacceptable. Sweater blanks made with 100% cotton yarns have the best stitch definition and least stitch distortion and are therefore rated 5 and used as a stitch-rating standard to which other fabrics are compared.
- the elastic component of yarns that are suitable for use in the present invention includes yarns of rubber, spandex or other elastomeric fiber.
- the elastic component can be covered, plaited, core-ply spun, air-jet entangled, air-jet intermingled, or the like, with conventional textile fibers to form the elastic combination yarn.
- the conventional textile fibers include, among others, cotton, wool, nylon, polyester, or other natural or synthetic fibers.
- a single end of spandex is combined with one or two ends of stretch-textured nylon yarn, while the spandex is under a draft of 1.1X to 1.7X, to form a combination yarn that has an elastic stretch of about 10% to 70% (beyond its original length).
- Such elastic combination yarns are shown in the examples below to provide improved knit fabrics for cotton sweaters and socks.
- the elastic combination yarns and conventional textile fiber yarns are knit on a weft-knitting or a circular-knitting machine.
- the elastic combination yarn can be knit in every stitch, in two out of three stitches, or at least in every other stitch.
- the elastic combination yarn can be plaited or laid in the knit fabric.
- the knit fabrics of the invention are particularly suited for the manufacture of sweaters, socks, skirts, dresses and the like.
- the fabrics of the invention generally have unit weights that are greater than about 6 oz/yd 2 (200 g/m 2 ) and preferably, greater than about 10 oz/yd 2 (340 g/m 2 ).
- Examples I, II and III the fabrication and testing of various weft-knit cotton sweater fabrics made according to the invention with elastic combination yarns having an elastic stretch of 10 to 70% are compared with similar fabrics outside the invention made without such elastic combination yarns or with combination yarns that have excessive elastic stretch.
- Examples IV and V present similar comparisons for circular-knit cotton socks. The Examples clearly demonstrate the advantages of the invention in decreasing working loss and in preventing excessive shape distortion during washing, drying and hanging.
- the feed of textured nylon yarn was adjusted to provide the final combination yarn with the total dtex (denier) listed in the table.
- the total denier is for the combination yarn in the wound up state (i.e., at an elongation corresponding to the spandex draft during the combining operation).
- the percent elastic stretch in the resultant combination yarn and the weight percent spandex therein are also listed in the table. Note that yarns designated Y-1 through Y-7 are suitable for use in the fabrics of the invention and that yarns Y-a, Y-b and Y-c are for comparison fabrics that are outside the invention.
- Each of the combination yarns were made with 20-den (22-dtex) spandex, except yarns Y-5, Y-6, Y-7 and Y-c, which were made with 10-den (11-dtex) spandex; all were made with one end of the nylon yarn, except yarns Y-3, Y-4 and Y-b, which were made with two nylon yarn ends.
- Examples I, II and III demonstrate the advantage of the fabrics of the invention in decreasing working loss and while preventing excessive shape distortion caused by washing, tumble drying and hanging.
- Table 1 lists the particular elastic combination yarn used, the calculated weight % of spandex and of elastic combination yarn, the working loss (% area decrease), the % area loss in the hang, wash and dry shape-retention test and the stitch distortion rating.
- Example II seven sweater fabric blanks of cable pointel construction were weft knit using the same elastic combination yarns as in Example I.
- Four samples were according to the invention (5-8) and three were comparison samples (D, E, F).
- three ends of a 16/2 cotton count yarn (total dtex (denier) of the 3 ends was 2220 (1998)) and one end of the elastic combination yarn were employed, except that comparison sample D contained no elastic combination yarn. Needle spacing and course spacing were each seven per inch. Needle bed width and knitting tension were constant.
- Example II seven sweater fabric blanks of cable moving construction were weft knit using the same elastic combination yarns as in Example I.
- Four samples were according to the invention (9-12) and three were comparison samples (G, H, I).
- Needle spacing and course spacing were each five per inch. Needle bed width and knitting tension were constant. Fabric weight varied from 13.9 oz/yd 2 (471 g/m 2 ) for Sample G (100% cotton) to 22.6 oz/yd 2 (766 g/m 2 ) for Sample H (cotton and yarn Y-a).

- each weft-knit sweater fabric construction of Examples I, II and III, that contained elastic combination yarns in accordance with the invention having a draft of less than 1.7X exhibited less working loss than fabrics made with combination yarns of higher draft.
- the fabrics according to the invention also exhibited shape retention characteristics that compared favorably with those of the fabrics made with higher draft combination yarns as well as adequate stitch distortion ratings.
- Example IV six sock fabrics were knit; four according to the invention (13-16) and two comparison samples (K,J). In Example V, three sock fabrics of the invention (17-19) and one comparison sample (L) were knit. For each fabric of Example IV, five ends of a 20/2 cotton count yarn (total dtex (denier) of the 2 ends was 983 (885)) and one end of elastic combination yarn were knit on an 84-needle circular knitting machine at constant knitting tension and with the same number of courses, to form a 2x1 rib knit construction.
- Example V For fabrics of Example V, one end a 30/1 cotton count yarn of 197 dtex (177 denier) and one end of elastic combination yarn were knit on a 200-needle circular knitting machine at constant knitting tension and with the same number of courses to form socks of 1x1 rib knit construction.
- Table 4 below identifies the particular combination yarns that were employed and lists the weight percent of the fabric that was combination yarn and that was spandex.
- the working loss of the resultant socks is indicated in terms of sock leg length (in cm (inches)). The longer the leg length, the less working loss.
